Welcome to Penningtons! Award-winning coffee and tea merchants.

Sustainability

We live and work in one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and because we appreciate the beauty of what surrounds us, we are dedicated to preserving not only our beloved Lake District, but also the entire planet.

It all starts here. Sustainable attitudes. Relationships. Sourcing. Products. Packaging. To us, sustainability is more than a buzzword; it’s a way of life that touches everything we do. We build relationships with suppliers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility, and we carefully choose ethical and sustainable resources to minimise our impact on the planet. Every product we create is made with both quality and the environment in mind.  At Penningtons, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, it is one of the core principles of our brand and we will continue to find new and innovative ways to not only bring you the best, but also to reduce waste and cut carbon emissions throughout our entire process.

Discover your Pennington’s Favourite

With over 30 years’ experience in the industry, Penningtons Coffee Roasters and Tea Merchants know their coffee beans and love producing complex flavourful roasted coffee. Based in the stunning Lake District, each type of coffee bean is carefully selected to ensure that our roasted coffee blend offers a deliciously satisfying experience in every cup. 

Recyclable Packaging

The biggest challenge for coffee roasters and tea merchants is single-use plastic. Most bags and pouches used today are made up of multiple layers of plastics that make recycling impossible. All our packaging is made of a single recyclable material, accepted as part of house refuse collections. This means you can recycle all our bags! We’ve even stopped printing the bags to prevent contamination during the recycling process.

Our tea bags are 100% plastic free and 100% biodegradeable. Our tea bag wrappers and boxes are 100% recyclable. As are our clear stand-up pouches.

Our coffee pods are 100% compostable and the box they are packed in is fully recyclable.

Zero Emission Vehicles

We deliver the majority of our wholesale customers coffee, and all coffee to our cafes, by hand in our zero-emission vehicle. If you get a delivery in a box please recycle or hand it back to us. We love our Penningtons brand, but recognise that ‘other brands are available’ when it comes to cardboard boxes. More than 80% of our team walk, cycle commute to work and the roastery is fitted with an electric vehicle charging point.

Recycled Waste

Over 95% of the waste produced at our Roastery is recycled. Ask us for coffee chaff – makes a great fertilser. We upcycle pallets (please call if you want some). Coffee bags have been made into cushions and others get a second life in local primary school sack races!

Cut Carbon Emissions

We have cut the carbon emissions by filling our roof with solar panels.  We produce enough energy to power our roastery and keep the lights on as well as charging our electric vehicle  We have changed all lighting in the roastery to LED. More efficient, greener and cheaper to run. 

Upcycled Materials

Over 95% of the waste produced at our Roastery is recycled. Ask us for coffee chaff – makes a great fertilser. We upcycle pallets (please call if you want some). Coffee bags have been made into cushions and others get a second life in local primary school sack races!
